Nikos Eliou (Raku) first learnt pottery on the Greek island of Sifnos, and later studied at Camberwell School of Art in England. He has been teaching for over twelve years. The immediate results and the ability to work spontaneously are aspects of Raku that attracted Nikos to this form of pottery. The openness of the sea, the ever changing landscape, the people and animals that work the land are some of the subjects that inspire him.
Ritsa Eliou (Raku) met Nikos when she attended one of his pottery workshops in London. She has taught for over ten years and uses red earthenware clay, a clay that is full of iron and very common in Greece, to produce functional pottery such as plates, dishes, bowls, vases, cups and tea pots.
